Since this thread is receiving lots of replies. Here's mine.
I am a loyal KDE/Gnome user. I use both. I don't really prefer one over the other except when one does not work, that is the case on one machine I have at home. Gnome works, KDE does not. Then alright Gnome you are the one on that machine.
But I have kept quiet and I am really really really really .... (really)^n
lim (really_dissapointed)^n
n -> \infty
with the digital clock in KDE 4.X where X is a number 1.Y, 2.Z where Y and Z are integers in KDE releasees.
I really would have appreciated the old nice trustworthy (beautiful) old KDE 3.5.X series clock. The new clock is OK, but nowhere likablitiy like the old one.
I know that is very little thing to be dissapointed about, but I thought that they(KDE developers) would care to put back a nice old fashioned digital clock that was there before, but it has not happened :(
Other than that, things are really looking very GOOOOOOOOOOO.....D and if it were not for that complain, I would be much much much happier.
I know nobody cares, but anyway I mention it and hope others feel the same way, I know of many that said f* kde and switched to Gnome/xfce/Lxde, but that is something elese :)
Regards,
Antonio
